PTR 3.3: Patch Notes Update 11/17 (Build 10835)
Posted by Amatera on Tuesday, November 17th, 2009 - 7 Comments
A new round of changes to go with the next week of testing! Perhaps the most important of the bunch are those relating to the way Rogue poisons work. We brought a potential problem to your attention last week, which involved an add-on allowing Rogues to weapon-swap (and thus poison-swap) on the fly. This was supposed ... More
New Map/Quest Interface Tour [Video]

As you may have read in the latest patch notes, Blizzard has gone ahead and given players the option to integrate the Quest Log and World Map into one big, conglomerated objective-tracking monstrosity! People will wail and people will moan that they’re, once again, making the game too easy, but then those same people will ... More

Posted by iTZKooPA on Thursday, October 1st, 2009 - 15 Comments
Major combat operations in /World of Warcraft have ended. By dedicating a healthy bit of time before bed, and using my own advice, I was able overcome the horrible lag I was experiencing in all of my World of Warcraft endeavors. No more 30% drops in framerates, lost DPS or accidental dives off cliffs to ... More
Guide To Fixing Your World of Warcraft Installation
Posted by iTZKooPA on Wednesday, September 30th, 2009 - 8 Comments
Ever since Onyxia realized she could regrow her head I’ve had issues with World of Warcraft. I have no idea if it’s patch 3.2.2 specifically, but that is when the problem became obvious. Patch 3.2.2a, which was supposed to fix bugs created with 3.2.2, did nothing for me. My more-than-capable computer continues to hit awful ... More

Understanding Item Level
Posted by Heartbourne on Wednesday, July 29th, 2009 - 22 Comments
You might have heard the term item level “iLvl” and not really known what it meant. It’s sort of an extension of the tier system (or vice versa), and it’s easy enough to understand at face value: a higher iLevel means more overall stats and superior item. Item levels are not something that you can see ... More
Juggy’s Addons: Recount’s Realtime DPS Graph
Posted by Juggynaut on Tuesday, July 21st, 2009 - 14 Comments
A lot of players don’t seem to know about a very cool feature of Recount, the realtime graph displays. I can say this with confidence because I get a lot of questions about the red graph in the bottom right-hand corner of my UI that displays the current DPS output of the raid. So, to ... More
Guild Chat: Interview with Gevlon of The Greedy Goblin
Posted by Heartbourne on Monday, July 20th, 2009 - 20 Comments
I recently had the opportunity to speak with one of my favorite WoW bloggers, Gevlon of Greedy Goblin. Gevlon is one of the few players in the game who has reached the elusive “gold cap” of 214,748.3646 gold. He is known for being extremely cynical and having radical and critical views of almost everything in ... More
Add-On Insanity
Posted by Amatera on Wednesday, July 15th, 2009 - 33 Comments
Where would we be without the advent of add-ons? In the dark ages of pre-packaged interfaces and a serious lack of Peggle, that’s where! Every time I get back on the PTR, I find myself tossing curses left and right, having the default UI foisted upon me once again and not knowing where any of ... More
Are Your Realms Emptier Than Usual?
Posted by iTZKooPA on Wednesday, July 8th, 2009 - 20 Comments
The little guild I call home is still struggling to recover from the quarterly event known as the Summer. The hiccup in raiding, filling and scheduling, has caused me to focus my efforts on things outside of Naxxramas domination and Ulduar subjugation. First and foremost is the leveling of one Holy/Shadow Priest that is to ... More
